About your free immigration assessment

UK immigration law covers many different routes, each with its own eligibility requirements, supporting evidence and application process.

Sterling Shore Solicitors advises individuals, families and businesses on matters ranging from visa applications and extensions through to refusals, immigration appeals, detention and deportation cases.

We help you understand your immigration options

Your immigration specialist will discuss your circumstances, objectives and current immigration position before explaining which routes may be relevant to you.

Where you are preparing an application, we can help identify the requirements that need to be met, review your supporting documents and prepare your case for submission to the Home Office.

For complex immigration matters, our lawyers can assess the decision or action taken by the Home Office and advise on the legal routes that may be open to you.

Our aim is to give you a clear understanding of your position before you decide how to proceed.

Personal and family immigration

If you want to visit the UK, live with your family, extend your existing permission or settle here permanently, our lawyers can assess which immigration route may be available.

We regularly assist with spouse and partner applications, family visas, visit visas, extensions, settlement applications and British citizenship matters.

Each immigration category has its own requirements. Depending on the route, these may involve your finances, relationship, employment, residence history, English-language ability or previous immigration record.

Our team can identify the requirements relevant to your application and explain the evidence that should support your case.

Work and business immigration

Sterling Shore assists individuals and businesses with UK immigration matters connected with employment and business activity.

For individuals, this can include applications under eligible work routes, extensions and changes of immigration status.

For organisations, immigration compliance can affect recruitment and the ability to employ overseas workers. Our team can advise businesses on relevant immigration requirements and assist with appropriate applications and related matters.

We can assess the proposed route and provide clear advice on the documents and process involved.

Visa extensions, settlement and British citizenship

Your immigration needs may continue long after your first UK visa is granted.

Sterling Shore can assist clients who need to extend their permission, change immigration category, apply for indefinite leave to remain or consider an application for British citizenship.

Eligibility for settlement or citizenship depends on the route and the applicant's individual history. Residence periods, absences, immigration compliance and other legal requirements may need to be considered.

Our lawyers can review your immigration history and advise on the next stage of your UK immigration journey.

Refusals, appeals and complex immigration matters

A Home Office refusal does not always mean the end of an immigration matter.

Depending on the type of decision, options may include an immigration appeal, administrative review, fresh application or another form of legal challenge.

Sterling Shore has experience representing clients in complex matters involving visa refusals, human rights claims, immigration appeals, detention, bail, deportation and judicial review proceedings.

If you have received a refusal or another Home Office decision, our team can review the notice and explain the legal options available.

Deadlines can apply to appeals and reviews, making early advice particularly valuable.
